Another Day…
…more to be thankful for. I wrote today…a lot! Went for a mani with sister PJ—trés fun. Made brownies for INRWA Retreat and only ate one! My warm cozy sofa and Antiques Roadshow. Found a song that one of Tim’s former bandmates posted for him—it was lovely and brought sweet memories of my dear old friend. So, how was your day? Why are you grateful?

Tuesday’s Thankfulness
The election returns have distracted me from making my list this evening, but I am so grateful for many things: The long line when I went to vote—how great it was to see the huge turnout! Son’s interest in the election and his opinions, which are well-thought-out and well-expressed. Leftover homemade soup for supper–easy meal and delicious! I walked on the treadmill today with only a little pain. Dee texted me to tell me she is feeling so much better today. YAY! Have you thought about your list or are you also distracted tonight?

It’s Monday and I’m grateful…
I’m such a blessed woman, I’m amazed that sometimes I don’t always see that as clearly as I should. Today, I’m thankful for: The little video Son and DIL sent me of Grandboy tasting his first solid food. It is delightful, even though Grandboy’s not at all sure he’s into the rice cereal. Spending a couple of hours with Dee—she’s in the hospital being re-hydrated and given nutrition to build her up. Another test today to see if the docs can figure out a way to make eating easier. This thing sucks, so bad, and yet her main concern today was getting out in time to be able to vote…

An Attitude of Gratitude
So, my friends and fellow writers, Mary Stella and Liz Flaherty are celebrating November by naming at least one something they’re grateful for each day. Wow, what a concept! We forget to be grateful every day. We know we’re blessed, that we enjoy untold abundance but we get busy and stressed and run out of time. Then we get whiny and grouchy and snap at our loved ones or even at the poor innocent cashier at the grocery who was never taught how to count back change. Life gets in the way of gratitude. I’ve been watching Liz post her thankfulness each day on Facebook—simple things, a lovely sunset, old…
